To all Seneca View Residents and Families:
Please be advised that we have had a fully vaccinated nursing home staff member test positive for COVID-19 this morning. As a result, the facility is returning to full isolation precautions to prevent any potential spreading. Twice weekly testing of all staff and residents has also been resumed and will continue until we are clear of any positive cases for 14 days.
The facility has been advised by the Department of Health to postpone resident visitation during our initial house-wide testing to determine the extent of any outbreak. Individual nursing units may be able to reopen for visitation based upon the results of their initial testing and ongoing negative test results.
Small group resident activities and socially distant dining routines will also be temporarily discontinued until each nursing unit gets the “all-clear.” Visits to residents on the end of life visitation program will not be interrupted although additional infection prevention measures may be required of visitors.
We will be providing more information as it becomes available.
Please continue to monitor our SCHUYLERHOSPITAL.ORG website, and please feel free to contact us if you have any questions. You can also reach our State Ombudsman, Trish Chevallard, at (607) 274-5492, if you need.
Warmest Regards,
Patrick J. Ryan
Executive Director LTC Services
Administrator – Seneca View Skilled Nursing Facility
what our patients are saying
“I have to say the last couple visits that I’ve had here have been wonderful. About a month ago I had an EGD and the staff were amazing! Explained everything in detail and made me feel at ease. I was very nervous and the nurse I had was very comforting. Tonight we had to take my son to the emergency room and they were awesome with him! We got right in. “
“I have been a Hemo dialysis patient for almost Five years. Prior to dialysis and during dialysis I have had several trips to the ER, due to other health issues & was admitted to CMC more than a few times. Each and every time I’ve been there, whether in patient or out, I have been treated with respect, professionalism, and efficiency. I give this hospital 2 thumbs up!! Thank you CMC for taking care of me all these years!!”
“I have had many occasions visiting CMC for myself and family. We have never had a bad experience there at all. Last October I had surgery and the nurses were amazing especially my night nurse. Thank you to all CMC staff for doing what you do every day with a smile.”
“The staff and accommodations at Cayuga Birthplace are amazing!!! This is what it I imagine it would feel like to be a celebrity getting VIP treatment. I wish I could stay longer – even the food options are 5 Star! The amenities are great. Everything is clean and designed beautifully. Not a single complaint, only praises!”
